Sucker for Casters {a side table redo}

I love any old piece of furniture on casters! So when I was looking for things to work on I came across 3 of these little side tables on casters

And here is how he looks now:

I used high Rustoleums high gloss black Paint + Primer 

and Ivory Paint + Primer

It took me a few days to decide what color I wanted to paint the hardware

I decided on Valspar Antique Blue

Our St. Bernard thinks this is the best place to lounge

  

I Mod Podged the drawer with a letter from 1820 that I found here at Graphics Fairy

I also decided to paint the casters blue

Although this table really matches my living room, I don't plan to keep it. I'm not sure if I should make 2 of the tables the same or all 3 different. I would love to hear what you would do!!

ADDICTED TO CHALKBOARD PAINT....AND AN AMAZING FIND!

As our move is approaching, I have been having a hard time focusing on the important things I am supposed to be doing around the house, such as getting the garage sale together and packing. I had planned to have everything together to have my garage sale today, but I just CAN'T stop painting things!! I think I have a problem! 

I decided to put caster's on the coffee table (see post here) and I think everything looks better on wheels, what do you think?

SOMETHING TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY {a desk makeover}

AFTER

Since I began this desk, my ideas of colors and looks have changes a million times! Well I finally decided I needed a little sunshine! The original pulls don't match anymore, so I am in search of the perfect pulls. The drawer front are made from fabric that I Mod Podged to the drawers, I think it adds personality :-)! I still need to put a coat of Polycrylic on the desk to give it a beautiful glossy look.....but I thought it was finally ready for a preview! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think or if you have an idea for drawer pulls!
